أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ جُمَيْعٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُمَيْرٍ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أُمِّي عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهَا عَلِيًّا فَقَالَتْ «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْهُ وَلَا امْرَأَةً أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنَ امْرَأَتِهِ»

✧ I entered with my mother upon Aisha while I was a boy, and I mentioned Ali to her. She said: “I have not seen a man dearer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than him, nor a woman dearer to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ than his wife.”
